Today I finished Sea Salt the last of the fragrances from the Bramble Berry seaside collection. It has notes of black seaweed accord, cucumber water, Galia melon, green lily blossoms, dewy rose, and white tea leaves. This soap also contains 2 new ingredients for us, black Icelandic sand and a colorant called Jagua. The sand is a volcanic sand and really fine, and it makes a great exfoliate. The Jagua colorant is a natural extract from Genipa americana trees, which are native to tropical forests in North and South America. I hope you enjoy these new bars!​

​Whether it's food borne or topical having allergies can either be a nuisance or deadly and for those of us who have them it’s a constant struggle. Coconut oil appears to be a allergen increasing in the population due to the exposure of coconut oil in many foods. Thanks to a brave customer, one who is very allergic to many nuts including coconut oil, she volunteered to do a patch test to see if she would react to babassu oil. After wearing the oil for more than 24 hours there was never a reaction. In our most recent soap we decided to replace the coconut oil with Babassu oil. Babassu oil comes from the Brazilian rainforest and as with all of our Rainforest oils, is sustainably sourced by Paris Fragrances. The soap is colored with rose hip seed powder and pink Brazilian clay and scented with Rose Jam. It has cranberry seeds for gentle exfoliation and rose hip seed oil. Rose hip seed oil is rich in vitamin A and C and is a "dry" oil which is readily absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling.

​Welcome to our new website and blog! We are really excited and hope you enjoy your experience!In my blogs I will be telling you about the new soaps I am making, when they will be available and what is happening in the future.Pumpkin Spice Latte soap is one of our most popular and requested soaps! This year’s version has a couple of new ingredients, jojoba beads and neon orange pigment. As you will see from the pictures this soap fluoresces under black light 😊. It is a fun aspect to our fall collection of soaps. The next 3 soaps are for Halloween and also fluoresce under black lights. They are also new fragrances, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Blueberry Pumpkin and Spiced Pumpkin. Now you are probably thinking as we did, blueberry and pumpkin together??? As strange a combination as it is, it really does smell good! I also did some fun Halloween shapes which can be used at the sink or as a travel soap, these come 2 to a package. While the orange pumpkins don’t glow, the orange, green and black ones will. We will have all of these and more at the Celtic Faire at the Sherwood Forest Faire grounds Sept 8,2018. If you are in the area come and visit us, we will have 2 locations, our building by the jousting arena and our tent up by the Greenwood stage.

We are excited to launch our new website and look forward to being able to post about all new/upcoming batch of soaps and other bath goodies we have planned for the holidays and next years Sherwood season.
